New Yorkers are notoriously unfazed and last week was no exception was a proud peacock sauntered onto an NYC subway car, and impressed no one! What’s a bird like her doing alone in NYC? Gothamist suggests it may be running from a dark past:

Gambling debts maybe, or a drug deal gone wrong. On a more metaphoric level, the peacock could also be running from a broken relationship, though who knows whose fault it really was that it all went to shit. Or it could be one of those things where the peacock is running because it’s scared of what it really wants. Hey bird, don’t worry, we’ve all been there.

Actress Alyssa Milano may have gotten more than she bargained for when she took to Instagram to debut her new cornrows look. First, the commenters weren’t having it and cried cultural appropriation almost immediately, and second the people in the shoe store behind her served up looks that really said it all!
